🔥Show Notes🗒

James Burden is a speech-language pathologist and founder of The Stuttering Blueprint, where he helps people who stutter speak with confidence using a modern, holistic approach that goes beyond surface fluency. Combining Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, mindfulness, and the Camperdown Program, James focuses on dismantling the “stuttering iceberg” of shame, self-doubt, and limiting beliefs. His mission is to empower individuals to embrace their voice, connect without fear, and see stuttering as just one part of their unique identity.

📣QUOTE: “Stuttering isn’t just about speech—it’s what happens after. It’s the self-doubt, the shrinking away from opportunities, the fear of not being enough.” 💭 - James Burden
